BRIEF:Now that we've finished off the first decade of the Millenium, it's time to start thinking about where we'll be in another ten years. Which trends will dominate? Which brands will rise and which will fall? Who will fill the Billy Mays vacuum? Answer these questions and more by showing us what you believe will be THE HOTTEST PRODUCT OF 2020.HOW TO ENTER:Download the Photoshop file here (http://www.core77.com/1hdc/2020_template.psd.zip). Use this template to create your vision of the hottest product of 2020. Provide background and context where necessary to convince us that yours is the most compelling vision of the future.

Well, it looks like we bit off more than we could chew on this one. Turns out that asking people to be funny (very hard, indeed) AND to be a cartoonist, AND to come up with iconic products in the future was just a bit too much for a 1 hour design competition. So we're putting the "closed" sign up here now and looking forward to creating challenges that are much more on the doable side next time. Thanks to all our community for mulling this over just the same, and thanks especially to LunchBreath and FueldByCoffee for creating the template. It disappoints us to do this, but we promise to be back stronger on the next one.
